F1 2026 CAR CONCEPT

 

This Formula 1 car model is inspired by the brand-new 2026 regulations, which we are all eagerly waiting for.

Please note that this is a purely aesthetic, display-only model. No structural studies or realistic aerodynamic or suspension analyses have been carried out (obviously 😄). The model is designed exclusively to be visually appealing.

Assembly is extremely simple: the parts just snap together, allowing you to achieve the same result shown in the two single-seaters I built.

Regarding the wheels, I initially planned a joint system that would allow them to spin freely. 
However, the result was not ideal: due to the very low weight of the model and the low friction between plastic and the surface, the wheels did not spin well.
Additionally, from a structural standpoint, this solution would have been more complex, more fragile, and would have required additional printing supports.

For these reasons, I chose the current mounting system, which still allows the wheels to rotate.
 

⚠️ Warning: with prolonged use, the joints may loosen over time due to plastic wear. In that case, I recommend gluing the wheels to ensure long-term durability.
 

Printing Notes

I printed this model on a Bambu Lab A1 mini.
If you plan to scale up the model, make sure to scale all parts by the same percentage to avoid assembly issues.

When scaling the car, pay close attention to supports, especially around the suspension components and the front mounting block, as these areas are more delicate during support removal.

If you have a printer with a larger build plate, I still recommend keeping the same part layout on two separate build plates (bodywork on one plate and front/rear wings on another), as I did.
This way, if something goes wrong during a print, you won’t lose the entire model.

⚠️ Warning: This model uses snap-fit connections for easy assembly.
During assembly, or if you attempt to disassemble the model, some parts may break, particularly if printed in standard PLA and handled with excessive force. This behavior is inherent to rigid plastics and snap-fit designs and does not indicate a defect in the model.

The designer is not responsible for damage caused by improper handling, disassembly, or material choice.
In most cases, a small amount of glue is sufficient to easily repair any broken part without compromising the final appearance of the model.

⚠️Any minor print lines or imperfections are hardly noticeable once painted or displayed.
